The title of this video should change with the times. But nothing lasts forever: here’s the story of how I made it work, why it used to be easier to make that work, and how it all ties in to the White Cliffs of Dover and the end of the universe.

I’m getting rather a lot of emails telling me that it’s working! Which is great, thank you! — but for the sake of my inbox: the code’s also keeping logs for me, don’t worry about it đ
Call it redundancy.
100%
It’s been exact for me the last 3 times I checked, (Im on mobile if that effects it)
Thanks for the kind words at the end of the video, tom. I’ve been needing some inspiration lately
It’s spot on
Poor Tom, having to rewrite the title every time someone watches the video.
you do be exposing him
I’ve refreshed dozens of times just to troll him. I bet he’s gonna quit before I do!
This is his lot in life.
I thought he’d made separate videos for each possible view count
@ben1210 oh that makes way more sense
Before: cool, number of views
After: my entire existence is ethereal
Jesus, I remember that Star Wars forecast thing. Weird to keep finding ways in which I knew your work before I knew of you.
“code is just incredibly dull on camera”
Tell that to Michael Reeves
Joshy Jay nightmare nightmare nightmare
savage
Yup
“DONT TALK ABOUT IT IN MY GODDAM COMMENT SECTION”
We need another Collab between Will, Michael, and Tom
*Tom* : Try to make sure they leave something positive behind.
*Me, literally in the process of coding a farting Discord bot while I watch this video* : Uh…
“The long-term goal of humanity should be to find a way to defeat entropy” – WOAH kyubey, hold your horses

My experience: API – Automatically Pain In-the-ass
Haha.
Ned Andre EXACTLY
âThe long term goal of humanity should be to defeat entropyâ
Sounds like Isaac asimovâs The Last Question
Me: Oh cool, Tom talking about code.

Did Tom just Rick rolled us?
XcQ… nicely spotted!
@David where?
oh my god the madman
Tom Scott is the only one that can make me have an existential crisis without ruining my motivation to live.
“If it’s actually 100% spot on, it’s a miracle.”
Well Tom, its matching 979,002 – 979,002. Witnessed a miracle?
Sam Gainfort same mine is spot on as well
He’s saying that if the 979,002 mumber is correct, not if the two numbers on the screen match up. My number was also 979,002.
995,052 checking in here
979,002 too

“having it 100% spot on is a miracle”
well I guess I just experienced a miracle lmao
Twice.

It’s depressing to know that there will always be people who take advantage of good things and use them for harm. đ
“If it’s actually 100% spot on, it’s a miracle.”
To those of us watching at or close to the upload date this quote is mostly directed to the future audience of this video.
âDonât bother refreshingâ from when I started watching to by the time Iâd finished it ticked over 1 million views 5 hours after upload – Iâm guessing very few listened to the refresh comment
Me: “Why does the title of the video display its viewcount?”
Tom: “Let me tell you why even though everything in life comes to an end, its worth experiencing it:”
